Ying‑Ting Huang (TPE) Nominated for The World Games Athlete of the Year 2025

The International Korfball Federation is pleased to share that Ying-Ting Huang of Chinese Taipei has been nominated for The World Games Athlete of the Year 2025. He is one of 30 finalists selected from across all World Games sports.

The International World Games Association (IWGA) announced the full list of nominees on 7 January 2026.

Huang earned his nomination following his performances at The World Games 2025 in Chengdu, where Beach Korfball appeared on the Games programme for the first time.

Playing on a new stage and under constant pressure, he delivered key moments when his team needed them most.

In the semifinal against Belgium, Huang scored the Golden Goal to send Chinese Taipei into the final. In the gold medal match against the Netherlands, the score was tied in the closing seconds when he made a long-range two-point shot to secure an 8–6 win and the first Beach Korfball gold medal in World Games history.
Those decisive plays helped Chinese Taipei claim the title and underlined Huang’s impact throughout the tournament.

Voting opens on 12 January

Public voting for The World Games Athlete of the Year 2025 opens on  Monday, 12 January 2026 at 12:00 GMT and closes on  2 February 2026 at 12:00 GMT.

Fans can vote once every 24 hours through the official The World Games website.

This is a great opportunity for the korfball community to show its support. Beach Korfball’s debut at The World Games was an important step for the sport, and Ying

Ting Huang played a central role in that success. Every vote helps give korfball greater visibility worldwide.

How to vote

  • Visit the official World Games voting page (available from 12 January)
  • Select Ying-Ting Huang (Chinese Taipei)
  • Vote once every 24 hours until 2 February
  • Share the link with teammates, clubs, and korfball fans around the world

We congratulate Ying-Ting Huang on his nomination and invite the global korfball community to support him throughout the voting period.

IKF Recognised for Strong Governance in ARISF 2025 Review

The International Korfball Federation (IKF) has been recognised for strong governance in the latest review by the Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations (ARISF). This achievement reflects the considerable progress we have made in recent years and underlines our commitment to transparency, integrity, and accountability.

Since the last assessment, the IKF saw its score climb from 19 to 47 points. This 28-point increase highlights the extensive work happening behind the scenes and is particularly significant when compared to the average improvement of 8 points seen across other international federations.

Who is ARISF?

ARISF represents international sports federations that are recognised by the International Olympic Committee. Their governance assessments focus on key principles such as accountability, transparency, and ethical standards – values that are essential for the credibility and growth of every sport.

Why does this matter?

Good governance is the foundation of trust in sport. It ensures that decisions are fair, resources are managed responsibly, and athletes, officials, and volunteers can rely on clear and consistent processes. For the IKF, strong governance means we can continue to grow korfball worldwide with confidence and credibility.

What the review said

ARISF highlighted that the IKF has made one of the most significant improvements since the previous assessment. Our governance score increased substantially, thanks to clearer documentation, consistent publication of annual reports, and a well-defined decision-making structure. The review also praised the inclusive composition of our Executive Committee, with 37.5% female representation, and recognised our financial management as among the strongest in our category.

Looking ahead

While this is a positive and encouraging result, we view good governance as a continuous journey rather than a destination. We are already moving forward with plans to further enhance our digital transparency and ensure our latest initiatives are even more accessible to our global community. By continuing to refine our processes, we aim to build on this momentum and achieve even higher standards in the next assessment.

Reflecting on the result, Joana Faria, IKF Secretary General, said:

“This assessment from ARISF is an important step forward for the IKF and a reflection of the incredible work done by our team, our committees, and the many volunteers who support korfball worldwide.

“Good governance is not just about ticking boxes – it is about creating trust, ensuring fairness, and building strong foundations for the future of our sport. As we continue to grow and expand into new countries and develop exciting formats like Beach Korfball and Urban Korfball, having clear processes and robust governance becomes even more important.”

External reviews like this also give confidence to our partners and sponsors that the IKF operates with integrity and professionalism. We are delighted with the progress made, but we know there is more to do. Work has already started on the areas identified for improvement, and we will keep pushing forward to achieve even higher standards in the next review.”

A shared achievement

This progress is the result of dedication from many people – the team working at the IKF, alongside our officials and volunteers in our committees across the world. Together, we have strengthened the way we operate and demonstrated that even with limited resources, high standards are possible when everyone works towards the same goal.

IKF Signs MoU with IPDJ to Promote Fair Play Through White Card Initiative

The International Korfball Federation (IKF) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth (IPDJ) to strengthen the implementation of the White Card initiative in international korfball.

The signing took place during the closing ceremony of the IKF Korfball Champions League Satellite event in Lisbon, marking an important step in promoting fair play and positive values in sport.

The agreement was signed by Joana Faria, IKF General Secretary, and Lídia Praça, Member of the Executive Board of IPDJ. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to encourage respect, solidarity, and ethical behaviour both on and off the field.

“The White Card is more than a symbol; it represents a culture of fair play,” said Joana Faria during the ceremony. “Working together with IPDJ, we aim to make these values a defining part of korfball worldwide.”

Earlier this month, IKF announced the introduction of the White Card in international korfball. You can read the full announcement here.

White Card in Action

The Korfball Champions League Satellite also saw the White Card used in competition for the first time. During the match between Club Korfbal Castellbisbal (CAT) and SKK Prievidza Dolphins (SVK).

IKF referee Hilal Karas awarded the White Card to the Prievidza coach, Peter Busik, who quickly assisted an opposing player in need. This moment perfectly captured the spirit of the initiative: recognising acts of sportsmanship and cooperation.

Continuing the Journey

With the MoU now in place, IKF and IPDJ will work together to promote the White Card across international korfball events, ensuring that fair play remains at the heart of the sport.

Chinese Taipei Take Gold at IKF Korfball Asia Cup 2025 in Malaysia!

Chinese Taipei are the champions of the IKF Korfball Asia Cup 2025, wrapping up an unbeaten campaign with a dominant victory over hosts Malaysia in the Final. This highly competitive continental championship ran for six days in Selangor, Malaysia, gathering Asia’s top korfball nations for the title showdown.

The Final

The gold medal match saw Chinese Taipei defeat Malaysia to claim the Asia Cup title. After an earlier meeting in the group stage, the two finalists once again delivered a high-quality, physical contest on the biggest stage of the tournament.

The Final score line demonstrated Chinese Taipei’s powerful team effort. Four different players shared the top scoring honours for the champions, each scoring four goals: Shao-en Chiu, Fei-yi Su, and Yu-ju Wu. Qi Xun Chia led the scoring for Malaysia.

Final score: Malaysia vs. Chinese Taipei  – 11-29

Bronze Medal Match

The battle for third place provided one of the most thrilling games of the week. Thailand and Japan fought fiercely, separated by only the narrowest of margins, with Thailand ultimately clinching an 11–10 victory. This exciting finish secured Thailand a hard-earned place on the podium.

The trophy and gold medals – Chinese Taipei

2nd place – Silver medal – Malaysia

In the second semi-final, hosts Malaysia faced Japan in a tough, close encounter, eventually securing an 11–8 victory to book their spot in the Final in front of the enthusiastic home crowd.

Group Stage Overview

The tournament opened with a group stage split into two pools.

In Group A, Chinese Taipei and Malaysia quickly established themselves as the top two. Chinese Taipei finished the group stage undefeated (nine points), followed by Malaysia (six points). Thailand secured third place (three points), leaving Japan without a win.

The closing ceremony celebrated individual excellence with several awards recognising top performances across several categories, including the coveted Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards.

Catalan Club Korfbal Castellbisbal Win IKF KCL Satellite 2025

The IKF Korfball Champions League Satellite 2025 wrapped up today in Lisbon, Portugal, and it was a historic moment for Club Korfbal Castellbisbal from Catalonia, who were crowned champions. They secured the title with a hard-fought 19-16 victory over England’s Nomads Korfball Club, making this the very first European title in the Catalan club’s history.

Castellbisbal’s journey to the top was impressive, suffering just one defeat throughout the entire tournament. That loss came on Day 2 in a tight 22–20 contest against Slovakia’s SKK Prievidza Dolphins.

They didn’t let that setback slow them down. Castellbisbal bounced back immediately on Day 3 with two commanding wins, smashing Wales’ Cardiff Raptors Korfball Club 38–12, and then closing the day with a 23–8 rout against Glasgow Korfball Club of Scotland. These dominant performances truly set the stage for their championship run.

SKK Prievidza Dolphins deserve credit for their performance, with their win over Castellbisbal standing out as one of the tournament’s notable results.

After the final matches were completed, the full podium was confirmed. Kocaeli University Sports Club (TUR) claimed the silver medal, finishing level on points with SKK Prievidza Dolphins (SVK) but edging them based on their head-to-head result from Day 1, when Kocaeli University won 15–13. SKK Prievidza Dolphins take the bronze medal, rounding out a well-earned top three.

IKF to Introduce the White Card in International Korfball

The International Korfball Federation (IKF) is launching a new collaboration with the Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth (IPDJ), through its National Plan for Ethics in Sport (PNED). Together, they will bring the White Card – Portugal’s positive fair-play recognition tool – into international Korfball. 

The IKF becomes the first international sports federation to adopt the White Card in an official and permanent way. This step reflects Korfball’s long-standing values: ethics, respect, solidarity, gender equality, and inclusion. The initiative is supported by the República Portuguesa (Portuguese Republic). 

Launching the Collaboration 

The White Card will debut at the IKF Champions League Satellite in Lisbon, Portugal, from 9 to 13 December. 

During the event, the IKF and IPDJ will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to mark the partnership. The agreement outlines how the White Card will be used across IKF competitions in the years ahead. The IKF will also prepare practical guidelines and offer training and awareness sessions for referees, coaches, team officials, and volunteers. 

What is the White Card? 

Photo: Marco Spelten

Created by the IPDJ, the White Card highlights moments of respect, fairness, and good behaviour. It is the opposite of the Yellow and Red Cards: instead of punishing misconduct, it celebrates positive actions that elevate the spirit of sport. 

While the White Card has appeared in some national and European events, the IKF’s adoption marks the first time an international federation commits to using it throughout its competitions. 

Reactions to the Announcement 

IKF Secretary General, Joana Faria, said: 

“For the IKF, joining the White Card is a natural and unquestionable decision. Korfball is based on values that go far beyond competition: ethics, solidarity, respect, gender equality and inclusion.  

“Being the first international federation to formalize this membership reinforces our commitment to leading by example.” 

Lídia Praça, from the Board of Directors of the IPDJ, added: 

The internationalization of the White Card is the recognition of the consistent work that we have been developing in Portugal. It is a sign that sport can be a space for civic and ethical education, with a global impact  

A positive future for Korfball 

This partnership strengthens the IKF’s efforts to promote ethics and fair play at all levels. The White Card will become a regular feature of our competitions, helping highlight the moments that make sport meaningful.
